Culver City, California, United States
I am a 4th-year PhD candidate in Biomedical Engineering at USC, conducting women’s health research in the Laboratory for Living Systems Engineering. My research focuses on engineering physiologically relevant 2D and 3D in vitro models to study how mechanical stretch regulates uterine contractility. In parallel with my PhD, I have taken on leadership roles in student-led consulting organizations, where I’ve developed a strong strategic mindset and enjoy working through open-ended problems. I currently serve as Co-Director of the consulting team at BCLA and Director of Finance at ADCC, experiences that have shaped how I lead teams and think about complex decisions. I earned my B.S. in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley in Spring 2022 and am exploring consulting and biotech industry roles as I prepare to graduate in ~1.5 years.
My research aims to investigate uterine disorders by using tissue engineering approach to develop physiologically-relevant models.
